Wuhan's Huanan Seafood Market is associated with many of the first cases or Covid- 19, but data on precisely how and from where the virus might have first spread has been difficult to find....however a re-examination of the earliest samples collected from the market seem to pinpoint where the virus first showed itself.

We continue our new series of Deeply Human from the BBC World service....today....Nakedness. Why aren't you naked? Unless you're in the shower, sunbathing on a progressive beach, or as a fresh born babe, you're probably wearing clothing - even if it's hot out.
